The silent protagonist of Persona 4. As the leader of the Investigation Team, Yu Narukami becomes deeply involved in the serial murder cases in the Inaba region shortly after arriving in town to live with his uncle.

Should the name of the page be changed?

With the recent announcement of the Persona 4 anime, the name of the main character comes into question. As you may know, he was named Souji Seta in the manga. HOWEVER, apparently his name is going to be Yu Narukami in the anime. And of course he is known to many as Charlie Tunoku.

So, what's the real name then? Souji? Yu? Charlie?

Now, I personally think that the page should either be Charlie Tunoku, or something like "Persona 4's Main Character."

@mutha3: Yeah, there probably is a specific board for that, but I didn't really feel like figuring out what it was, and when I thought of this, I was already on the Souji Seta page...So blame laziness!

" What ever is canon in the video game should be the name of the page. It's like Red with the Pokemon series. His name isn't Ash or Satoshi in the games, it's Red.If Charlie is his canon name, then the page should be Charlie. "

That's just it. He has no canon name.

I already made a request for a name change in the proper thread. What the page should be called is Persona 4 Protagonist. Call him Charlie, or Souji, or Yu if you want, but he has no official name.

I think Souji Seta should be the default name and any other names should be used as aliases (though Charlie Tunoku is debatable). It doesn't really matter too much since they redirect to the same page anyway.

" Stick with Souji, or go with Yu. Make the others aliases (and even making an alias for "Charlie Tonuku" is admittedly a bit in-jokey). Naming a character page "protagonist" is just awkward and ugly. "

Yeah, this is my take on this. Souji and Yu are the closest to official names we're going to get (and really, there's something to be said about "good enough;" a name that may not be what Atlus calls him, but is from something that is an officially licensed product from Atlus, in lieu of an official name, is good enough), and they frankly sound a lot better than "Persona 4 Protagonist," easily the laziest way we could write that. All we need to do is put a disclaimer on the page that notes that this is only a semi-official name, and--surprise!--we already do.

My vote is to stick with Souji Seta; it's been around for longer and a lot of the community has taken to that name, so changing it to Yu makes no sense. And no, don't add Charlie as an alias. I mean, yes, that is his real name, and we all know that. But don't be stupid guys, come on.

I still think his name should be Charlie, or something like Persona 4's Main Character. Why should his name in the anime be his name here? This is a video game site, not an anime site. That's what Anime Vice is for.

His name in the fighting game is "Yu Narukami". It is now his official name.

Well he should just be "The Protagonist" but because that can also be said about a lot of wser created characters that don´t have a pseudo name ( like Shepard or the Vault Dweler) ,I think it would the best to call him Yu Narukami , Souji is his canon name for the manga but this is a videogame wiki so sticking to Yu seems more proper given that´s his name for the P4 Ultimate videogame

You just wait until they localize it for the US and they call him Charlie! JUST WAIT AND SEE! [Insert maniacal laughter here]

If the page isn't renamed to Yu Narukami, it should be Protagonist (Persona 4). Naming the page simply "The Protagonist" is just setting it up to be confused with numerous other "Protagonist" pages.

@Hailinel: Oh sure The Persona 3 protagonist is also "the Protagonist" so it should be specified by game in case there´s a name change , also do the avatars of Monster Hunter games have a name? or are they just "the hunter".

Well, here are some of the page names for characters that don't have names:

It's not his alias. People need to understand this isn't a Giant Bomb centric wiki, it's a video game wiki. You don't see Commander Shepard with a million aliases of all the names the users gave him/her.

Mmkay to end this once and for all!! His name is nothing, it will always be nothing he is a blank slate, that's how it is supposed to be! If you give him a name they have to have inner turmoil. The mc can't go without a personality if he has a name, if this name "Yu Narukami" was indeed canon he should of had this name in the first game the original. But why all of a sudden a arcade game is canon? If they wanted something to be canon make a squeal in the same style as the first game dumbasses. This name is not canon and will never be canon, so that is the end of this because an arcade game is not and I repeat not a good way to continue a series. Blazblue is the only arcade game that works since it was an arcade to begin with.
